About the Regeneration Biology Virtual Lab Simulation
Regeneration sounds like a superpower, but some reptiles and amphibians are perfectly able to regrow entire parts of their bodies. In the Regeneration Biology simulation, you get to dissect axolotls and observe the cells responsible for the restoration of missing limbs under the microscope.
Grasp the cellular mechanisms behind tissue regeneration
You will join Dr. Prometheus in his research to learn why some wounds can regenerate and others cannot, and how it translates into different treatments in a medical ward. You will experiment with axolotls in the Regeneration Biology lab to discover the critical steps required for regeneration to occur and learn about the cellular particularities of the blastema.
Tissue analysis and fluorescent constructs
In the Regeneration Biology lab, you will be able to virtually dissect axolotls and observe the regeneration process in a few minutes instead of weeks. In that way, you can experiment with different conditions, for example suturing a wound, and immediately see how it affects the tissues – all without harming any real animals. Using a microscope, you will also analyze the tissue samples from a regenerating stump to identify the involved cell types. Finally, you will use fluorescent proteins to explore the concept of positional information and its importance in regenerative biology through the creation of mutant axolotls.
Apply the data from axolotls to humans
You will apply your newly acquired knowledge of regeneration biology to understand the current treatments for open wounds and the possibilities for the future of medicine.
Will you be able to figure out why humans cannot regenerate as well as some other vertebrates?

What students think about Labster:
"A very innovative, immersive learning experience. It allows you to be more confident before going to the real laboratory. It's mind-blowing!"
Alice
Student Ambassador at Exeter Uni
"A great way to learn, because it can be very hard if you are just taught the theory - here you can try it yourself."
Ellie
Student Ambassador at Exeter Uni
"More people should know about this! Some students don't really like science and this tool is amazing to get students passionate about science by making it fun and easy to learn."

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm using Labster as part of my course. Do I need to buy a subscription?
If you are enrolled in a class and instructed by your teacher to use Labster, please make sure you use the sign-up information that has been provided by your teacher. Otherwise, they will not be able to follow your progress and achievements, and you may need to purchase a license twice.
How many simulations will I get access to?
You will get unlimited access to all our simulations. We release new simulations nearly every month, and you can always see an overview of all our simulations in our simulation catalog.
When will my account renew?
Your subscription will renew automatically each month after the free trial is over, unless you have made a single simulation purchase.
How can I cancel my subscription?
If you would like to unsubscribe, please use this form. An automated confirmation email will be sent out to you in the next few minutes. Click the confirmation link contained in the email in order to finalize the termination of your subscription.
What are the minimum requirements for my computer?
